Personally I liked the gothic games as sand box games but didn't like two world or oblivion. I genereally prefer the bioware/obsidian approach of more linear worlds with a better developed story and characters. But I do think risen will be a decent game, it won't be as good as Dragon Age Origins with which its competing directly for the end of year rpg slot.
I agree with you there hey, I also prefer linear rpgs. bioware are the gods at this.

This game is made by the same developer as the Gothic series, but if it's at all like Gothic 3 then I'm going to be disappointed. If however they go back to some of the Gothic 2 formula then I'd be happy. Be warned that these developers usually release their games in very buggy states.
I heard so, rather buy dragon age wheen that hits the shelves.
Be aware Gothic 1 wasn't bugged. It only started after they switched to Jowood as a publisher. Be aware that the gothic 3 expansion made by trine and not piranha bytes after they and jowood had a falling out had even more bugs than the gothic 3 original.
Also be aware Jowood has a terrible reputation as far as bugs go. Both the guild and spellfore series suffered with multiple bugs.
